Best Answer

You're probably seeing FS, the initials of the coin's designer Felix Schlag. All 1988 nickels would have either a P, D, or S mint mark. Any that you find in change are worth only face value.

The last time the US used a double mint mark was 1893, on coins struck in Carson City.

What is the value of a 2000 silver US quarter?

You have to inspect your coin carefully. If it has a P or D mint mark, it's made of copper-nickel, not silver and is only worth 25¢. If it has an S mint mark and a copper-colored edge it's a copper-nickel proof coin worth maybe $2 to $10 depending on its quality. If it's in a holder labelled "Prestige Proof", then it IS a 90% silver coin. These were made for collectors and sell for $3 to $12 depending on quality and which state is depicted.

What is the value of a 2001 solid silver US quarter?

You have to inspect your coin carefully. If it has a P or D mint mark, it's made of copper-nickel, not silver and is only worth 25¢. If it has an S mint mark and a copper-colored edge it's a copper-nickel proof coin worth maybe $2 to $11 depending on its quality. If it's in a holder labelled "Prestige Proof", then it IS a silver coin, but it's not solid silver. U.S. silver coins have at least 10% copper in them. These were made for collectors and sell for $3 to $15 depending on quality and which state is depicted.


What is the value of a 1986 Kennedy half dollar?

If the coin came from circulation it's worth face value only. All circulating half dollars minted since 1971 are made of copper-nickel. Regardless of any urban legends, they do NOT contain any silver. If it's uncirculated in MS60 condition it's worth about $3.50. By the way, the coin should have a "P" mint mark on it.

What is the value of 1982 US nickel with a mark above the head?

Without seeing the mark it is difficult to give an estimated value. The mint did not intentionally make a nickel with a mark above the head but sometimes damage to the dies will create a mark. I would suggest you take it to a coin dealer who can actually see what you have and perhaps can give you more information about it.
